FirstEnergy Unveils Plan for 1,200-Megawatt Gas Plant and Solar Project in West Virginia

FirstEnergy Corporation has announced plans to construct a 1,200-megawatt combined-cycle natural gas power plant and a 70-megawatt utility-scale solar facility in West Virginia. The proposed project is expected to create over 3,260 jobs during the construction phase and generate $68 million in state and local tax revenue. FirstEnergy subsidiaries Mon Power and Potomac Edison will submit plans to the West Virginia Public Service Commission in early 2026, considering either partnering with another company or building the plant independently. The initiative aims to support reliable power, job growth, and economic development, while also modernizing the state's electric grid and supporting the recruitment of energy-intensive industries. Pending regulatory approval, FirstEnergy anticipates investing an additional $2.5 billion in the state's infrastructure and energy sector.
